What films do you have to watch more than once to understand?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Any of the Harry Potter films - does anybody really have a clue what is going on in them.Good luck to the author, she has made a fortune - but her mind must be in a strange state to think that rubbish up. |

Are you really struggling with adapted childrens books and the complexity of it all ?
boys family dies, boy is a wizard, boy goes to school and thing that killed his family comes back, stuff happens boy wins.
Its the most simple story and idea I think there has ever been in fantasy terms anyway after all it is aimed at children.

'Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives', a Thai film that left me feeling really thick for not understanding it. One of the very few films that's had me saying 'What the f*** was THAT all about?' on the way out of the cinema..
The Guardian called it 'elusively poetic'. NiceGuyDave called it 'pretentious bollocks'  |

Deja Vu - Denzel Washington.
I can't work that out for love nor money.
That film just doesn't make sense.
But then again I comprehend The Matrix perfectly so I dunno wtf to think ha! |

Ahh rt thanks for explaining it all so easily. For those who live in the real world it was confusing. I can now see why our younger society is in such a terrible state if this is the drivel they have to understand - they have such a difficult life to understand , much simpler in my day understanding the flower pot men etc

Yes the downfall of modern socicety can be placed firmly at the feed of JK Rowling and some books about wizards 
If only we could go back to simpler times when the world was just so much nicer (no one ever died and no one went to jail) pre Harry Potter.

Cars 2
So many layers.
Environmental drama/espionage thriller/buddy movie/romantic comedy.
So much to take in all at once. I was quite overwhelmed. But thankfully I normally I am able to watch it 2 or 3 times a day so am coming to terms with it's messages. |

Cloud Atlas is easy once you've read the book (which is a complete headfuck until you realise the way it's written !)
